Down almost 20k in a year and a half gambling.
Hi,
Well that’s the title. I am currently 20 yrs old and started gambling in September 2024 and it’s honestly been a nightmare, wish I never started.
I gamble online, basically only on FanDuel. I sports bet and play casino but my losses are majority the online casino. I differentiated the losses from each section(sports and casino) and the casino losses are over 80% of my total amount being down all time.
No I am not rich, so I honestly don’t know why I would keep going to the casino knowing I could spend the money on more beneficial things. I love sports, and the betting isn’t the problem if I’m being 100% honest. It’s the fucking casino. I try to tell myself to stay out, and only gamble on sports but I still find myself ending up in the casino some way, somehow. I really want to stop gambling entirely, but at least first stop going into the online casino portion of FanDuel. It’s the fucking worst. I lose all my money each paycheck basically, go borrow money from my friends, lose it, wait til payday, pay back my debts, gamble and lose it again. It’s honestly so depressing and idk why I can’t control myself. If my parents found out about my addiction idk what they would say, but they wouldn’t be happy. I just feel like a disappointment and I really need advice on how to stop.
Thank you all for listening.
